Parts for my LX10

[philipjadler]

I just obtained an LX10, but I need a hand controller, and a DEC drive cable.
Anyone with any suggestions where I could look for these?

Also a circuit diagram for the LX10 would be helpful, as the RA drive doesn't power on when I turn it on.

Thanks for the help!  Philip

Here is a schematic for the LX-10. I hope this is helpful.

Well thats sound a big replacement. What I recommend you is to post as Wanted on www.cloudynights.com there are many ppl that offer the whole mount, you just need to swap OTA (optical tube assembly). I found my hand controller on that website by posting. The same person had the whole mount except the controller I bought from him. I don't know about the dec motor but it worth to ask in that website. If your interested in the mount. His name is Brian you can ask him if he still has that mount, his email is: cbrianbatey@comcast.net


good luck.

Hello Philip!
I recently had the same problem as you. I had bought my lx10 about 9 years ago without dec motor or hand controller. I couldn't find any for sale so I made my own. Once you have the circuit diagram(which I see you now have) it's straightforward providing you have some sort of electrical knowledge. The hand controller is just a box containing four switches. The dec motor is trickier as you have to find a dc motor and gearbox combination to give you a sufficiently slow movement. If you wanted further details I would gladly oblige.
